Viltrox AF 28mm F4.5 XF

28mm f/4.5

Short answer

The Viltrox AF 28mm F4.5 XF is a standard prime for the Fujifilm X mount. It covers 28 mm, which frames like 42mm on a 35mm camera, and opens to f/4.5. Autofocus is built in.

The optics are 6 elements in 6 groups. It focuses as close as 0.34 m.

It weighs 60 g and measures ⌀60.3 × 15.25 mm. That makes it the lightest standard lens for the X mount in the catalog. It launched at $99.

It mounts on all 34 X mount cameras in the catalog, among them the X-T5, X-T50, X-E5, X-M5, and X-T30 III. Fixed-lens models such as the X100 series are out by definition.

The same category holds 30 other X mount lenses. Among them, the fastest is the Voigtlander Nokton 35mm F0.9 at f/0.9.
